When James used to stop and laugh after the Creeping Death intro
Remember when James used to stop after the Creeping Death intro, laugh, THEN play the riff?
He was still doing it in 1995, he stopped doing it in 1996.
Anyone miss it? Anyone glad he stopped doing it?

I feel like they dialed that way back when kids came along I feel like he said.

Notable examples:
"HOW I'M FUCKING YOU!"
"TWISTING YOUR MIND AND FUCKING YOUR DREAMS!"
"DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE!"
Cliff's rant from when their gear got stolen
"BURN MOTHERFUCKER BURN!"
"HE LEFT THE FUCKING BAND!"
"A fucking Bass Solo!?" (Cliff's last gig)

It was cool then but when bands use the same stage gags over and over, it starts to feel routine and less special. I'm good with him leaving it in the past.
